1 “Listen to this, house of Jacob — those who are called by the name Israel and have descended from Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD and declare the God of Israel, but not in truth or righteousness. 2 For they are named after the holy city, and lean on the God of Israel; his name is the LORD of Armies. 3 I declared the past events long ago; they came out of my mouth; I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they occurred. 4 Because I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is iron and your forehead bronze, 5 therefore I declared to you long ago. I announced it to you before it occurred, so you could not claim, ‘My idol caused them; my carved image and cast idol control them.’ Isaiah 48:1-5, Christian Standard Bible.
